There were different guys stepping up making plays. It wasn't just Carl or Aaron. ... We got the ball to the right spots and eventually good things happened. |
There's never been a guy with a bigger heart, I'll tell you that. |
There's no question it changed the game. It changed what we wanted to do. But those things are going to happen. You have to deal with it. We've done it before. |
These guys are good players. They're experienced guys. We know them from last year. They bring a different dimension. They're very active, athletic and quick. They are probably the best all-around big guys we've played so far. |
These guys don't faze me. We've had a great year. |
They are an NCAA Tournament team. It was two very good teams playing out there. We won the battle. |
They deserved to win. They did a great job. |
They don't seem any different today than they were two days ago or before the Wisconsin game. I don't see any real changes. I think they just look forward to the competition in practice that day, and that's what they think about. |
They got to the line 32 times and shot 81 percent, and that's a lot of points. They made the free throws. |
They have four seniors that play a lot of minutes. They force turnovers, they push you in transition, they use some traps. It's a typical Cincinnati team that's had some injuries. |
They have players everyone wanted. They'll be playing with a lot of emotion, and they'll have a lot of confidence for this game. |
They lost so many close games, that they have to be a concern for people. And also teams that can really shoot the ball and get it going, those teams are always a concern because there are always some games where they can beat anybody. |
They made plays at the end. Their seniors stepped up and made big plays throughout the game. They played well and deserved this win. I thought we would have played better. |
They made some tough shots early, and we withstood it. So that's another good sign for us. |
They seem to be playing well. But it didn't matter who we were going to be playing, we were going to be playing someone good. Everyone in the league is playing well right now. |
